Case Analysis

The case analysis tools that I used for my research project for the Integration of Unmanned Aircraft within the National Airspace began with our assignments.  By organizing, conducting, and organizing all of the research that I was able to do, it made putting together my project much easier. Each week I would work towards researching one aspect of my research paper, such as the “Problem Statement”, or the “Alternatives” section based on what we were doing in class that week and what I had found while conducting research that week in books or online.

In the future I would like to work in the UAV field, whether it be hands on or as an instructor of some sort. I think that the importance of the case analysis tool would be utilized in either situation. The key to any tasking or job is to break it down into smaller segments and find out as much on each of those segments as necessary before beginning on the next module using the information that you have previously gathered. This is true in teaching as well. It’s important that your students have an overall picture of the objectives for the course and a breakdown of each expected “segment”. Within those segments it’s important to convey what the expectations are and how all of the segments together are to be used for a final project.

For our current project I think it could’ve been more lucrative to assign 3 people per project. I believe that by doing this it would have been more involved and that there would have been more ideas and thoughts between the group to be identified and analyzed.
